I've been saying this for the past couple of years. When Ford redesigned the Escape, it was obvious what they were doing. There's a reason why I call the Escape a bloated Focus.
The Escape is the new Focus
The Edge is the new Fusion
The Bronco Sport is the new Escape
The Maverick is...
Also to add, this is MSRP. If there is one thing we can expect from Ford, it that there will be some sort of incentives a year after launch. The question is how much will the incentives take off. If I'm honest, even if the Maverick fit me perfectly and rode exceptionally, I probably wouldn't...
Man... If fuel economy is anywhere near my Escape, I might jump ship. And if an AWD hybrid isn't that expensive, boy will it be hard to not do a trade in.
I work in heavy civil. In my area, I see a lot of county, VDOT, and consulting inspectors with crew cab mid to full-sized trucks with empty beds. They would benefit more from a Maverick than what they're driving. What's funny is for my company, some of the biggest, most capable trucks are...
See... I came from a '14 Focus, so nothing compares to the shakes I had in it. I will say that I can definitely notice the cylinder deactivation on lower speed much more than at higher speeds. If I'm at a low speed when cylinder deactivation is engaged, come to a slow down/stop, and then...
I have the 1.5L in my Escape. It does well in Northern VA traffic on the beltway and I-95. I tried it on Sport mode once and yeah... I'm not responsible enough for that. lol Sport mode is pretty zippy for a CUV.
What's funny is when my Focus died, I had to use a rental car for a week so I...
You might be off on the hybrid timing. Apparently, the one in GU's garage in the ad on her IG is a hybrid variant. Remember, this truck uses the same platform as the Escape which already has a hybrid and a new plug-in hybrid. It looks like this is being aimed for city life, therefore a hybrid...
Recently purchased 2020 bloated Ford Focus... I mean, Great Value brand Cayenne... I mean, Ford Escape SE.
My '14 Focus with the infamous automatic transmission survived all those recalls and 141,000 (90% driven in the last few years) before it went on to the upper room. So I was forced to go...
I've been (sadly) stalking Google's image search for leaks of Maverick pictures. The day before the F-150 Lightning debuted, some website leaked all the promotional Lightning pictures. They were removed from the site, but Google still had the pics in their search engine. Hoping for another...
Call me crazy or ignorant, but I believe most people are at least aware that electric technology is still a long ways from replacing the ICE. We are still lacking 3 main milestones before the Reaper can make is way toward gas engines:
Average battery storage/range greater than or equal to the...
Well, if it means anything, I used to regularly type in " www.ford.com/maverick " and " www.ford.com/trucks/maverick " just to see if Ford would slip up like with the Mustang that one time. The first url would always show up as access denied. The second one use to direct to a Ford page that...
Rumblings are that the other EV will be the Explorer. This makes sense for the FWD/AWD EV. With that said, I wouldn't rule out the Expedition either since it could be made to fit the F-150 Lighnings frame base. The off-roader is definitely the Bronco, however I also wouldn't rule out the...
I see the F-150 Lightning more as a symbol than a mainstream vehicle. Don't get me wrong; it's very impressive, especially the commercial oriented Lightning Pro. However, I believe the bigger point is Ford showing commitment to EV development and infrastructure while still holding the Ford...
Ok. I can't take it anymore. I just ended my year plus of stalking this forum and registered as a member JUST to tell you this:
I saw your cryptic message in another thread from a couple weeks ago. What does it mean? How do I decipher it? How did nobody else see it?
Also, hello everyone...
